VESTRY THEME

The Vestry theme is adapted from a reading from Fr. Bingham’s priestly ordination service at St. Mary’s last December, and is consistent with our goals to support and nurture the St. Mary’s community.

“Rejoice in the Lord always. Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near.”

Philippians 4-9
